	Are there any Mac applications that can automate the drawing
of hierarchies of the following type:

	a
       /|\
      b c d
     /\   /\

and 

  b
 /
a-c
 \
  d

	Note that I want diagonal lines to connect the nodes and I
usually don't want boxes around nodes.

	I've seen an add for something called TopDown.  Will this do
what I need?  A program that will also let me produce flow diagrams
would be an added benefit.
